If someone was to ever ask, "what is a typical power metal album?" you could quite easily produce this debut by British band, Power Quest. Although filled more with postive-about-yourself lyrics than something like fantasy (although power metal is all for postive stuff in general anyway), it has the (pretty) speedy music, the (reasonably) flying choruses and (plentiful) guitar riffs and flying keyboards, from main songwriter Steve Williams, who had recently left the soon-to-be DragonForce.
And the vocalist, Alessio Garavello (there's a British name for you) has a decent set of pipes.
With highlights including "Far Away" and "Beyond The Stars",
Wings Of Forever mightn't be the best power metal has to offer, but it does tick most of the boxes, and does a good job with what's on offer.
